What would be the best kit to get for a trailer to a M8 Howitzer? All my Ref pics show M8's hooked up to trailers which I guess is an ammo trailer right? Is there anything like this out ther or will I have to go from scratch?

Yes , the trailer is actually normally an M8 trailer ,although I have seen them hooked up with an M10 trailer also . Tiger Models make both types , I would opt for the M8 as it was by far more common & also included in the kit is an alternate towing method behind a M8 howitzer . I do not know where you would track down Tiger Models where you are but someone should be able to help .
Hope this helps you

Hello,
You can order the M8 Trailer off of Tiger Models Website. Tiger Models Homepage
Just a quick note. These trailers arent cheap. They run around $40-$45 USD

If you're really adventurous, TMD is releasing a full resin, super up to date accurate M8 HMC too!
They have a special combo package with their ammo trailer for $125 I think.
The M8 HMC has had some final release problems so hasn't been released yet. They're a stickler for a fine final product (I'm already on the list to get one!!!!)

Tiger Models makes the M8. Tiger, Blast Models, and Verlinden make the M10. All are nice kits.

The TMD sounds cool! I built the old Tamiya and thought it was pretty decent to build. Does the TMD M8 come with any figures? I'm having a hard time finding a crew that looks appropriate for the M8!

TMD's kit won't come with any figs. It's not yet released but I think it'd be a shame to put a figure into an ultra-detailed open top AFV like the M8 HMC.

Hi,
just four weeks ago I received the M8 trailer from TMD. It's a nice little one, although I was some sort of disappointed because the fitting of some pieces is very bad (disformed pieces). So at the moment I'm not quite sure how I will get them in the right shape.
greetings
